Message from the President:



I've got to say it! Congratulations to all Hawg Hunters on the "Gas" Raffle ticket sales. It was a 90% effort with only three members not selling a ticket. WELL DONE. The "Gas" raffle ticket sale grossed $789.00. After the $250.00 pay-out to winners, the "Special Fund" netted $539.00. Couple that with the $138.00 proceeds from the club raffle and auction and the Special Fund now stands at $1671.00. Not to shabby for a bunch of bassers wouldnt you say. So lets hit the $2000.00 level by the end of the October 17th meeting.
We can do it!!!!

Remember to bring your proposed changes to the Constitution, By-Laws and Tournament Rules in writing to the Sept. 19th meeting at which time we will discuss them. At the October 17th meeting we will vote on them --
No Discussion!

The E-Board will be accepting nominations for those members running for office at the Sept. meeting. GET INVOLVED!
That's it guys
See you on the water

August Tournament:

The August tournament was held on the Tensaw River, out of Hubbard's Landing. There were 20 Hawg Hunters that fished.
The air temperature was in the low 80's, the skies were clear.
The water level was normal and stained. The weather forecast was scattered afternoon thunderstorms. The high temperature for the day reached the low 90's. At safe daylight there were a few members that went north, but most Hawg Hunters headed south. Some headed way south. At weigh-in their were 25 fish weighed in for a total of 32.55 lbs.



Jim Bailey Sr. was having a little motor trouble, so him and his partner Rich Cornelius stayed near the landing all day long. Well turns out that the winning stringer consisted of a limit of fish that was brought in by Rich Cornelius which weighed in at 7.70 lbs. Rich also brought in the lunker for the day weighing in at 2.90 lbs; which was caught at 3:15, just 45 minutes before weigh-in. Rich caught all his fish on a lizard either Carolina rigged or Texas rigged. It was a tough day of fishing with quite a few tournaments going on at the same time, there were boats all over the river. The tide was pouring in which didn't make it any easier. Brian Metcalf brought in yet another limit of fish that weighed in at 5.45 lbs. Brian also caught most of his fish on a Texas rigged lizard. Mack Cramer was one of the boats that made a long run down south, which did him well.

August Tournament:

Mack had three fish that weighed in at 3.25 lbs, which was good enough for third place. Cliff Armstrong was able to bring in one nice fish that wasn't good enough for the lunker for the day, but was good enough to nail down fourth place. Cliff's fish weighed in at 2.85 lbs. Mitch Gardner relinquesed second place for the season to Rich Cornelius, but with his one fish weighing in at 2.30 lbs, he was able to bring fifth place home. Pete Potter rounded out the top six with his two fish weighing in at 2.20 lbs. Brian Metcalf stays on top of the leader board for the season with just two tournaments left for the season. Rich Cornelius and Mitch Gardner are battling for second. Mack Cramer and Wally Cassiano are running a tight race in fourth and fifth, with Jere Jaillite rounding out the top six. Congratulations Rich and a great job fishing to everyone.
